Mixed Media Contents

Managing the contents of a mixed-media section is a bit different from what you are used to with a text/image section. A mixed-media section can be divided in up to four panes (think window panes). The contents of the page really provides tools for managing the panes of the section.

When creating a new mixed-media section the first thing you should do is chose the arrangement of the panes on the page. As you make your selection in the top part of this page the bottom part updates with tools for managing each individual pane of the window.

If you have a four pane page but later decide to reduce the number of panes displayed (say to three, two, or even one) you can do so without deleting the contents of the last panes. The contents of the extra panes are preserved, just not displayed. You can reinstate the extra panes at any time.

Each pane has two properties to set: the type of contents and the width. The width of a horizontal pane will always be 100% of the page contents area, but for two side-by-side vertical panes you will be asked to set the width of the left hand pane. The width of the right hand pan will automatically fill the remander of the content area of the page.

The type of pane contents is discussed on other pages on this site. But once set the drop down menu is replaced with buttons for editing the contents of the pane and deleting the pane. Deleting the pane is the only way to change the type of contents the pane should hold.
